NAME
servers - inet server data base
DESCRIPTION
The _s_e_r_v_e_r_s file contains the list of servers that _i_n_e_t_d(8)
operates. For each server a single line should be present
with the following information:
name of server
protocol
server location
If the server is rpc based, then the name field should be
rpc, and following the server location are two additional
fields, one with the rpc program number, the second with
either a version number or a range of version numbers.
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab char-
acters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; char-
acters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by rou-
tines which search the file.
The name of the server should be the official service name
as contained in _s_e_r_v_i_c_e_s(5). The protocol entry is either
udp or tcp. The server location is the full path name of
the server program.
EXAMPLE
The following example is taken from the Sun UNIX system.
tcp tcp /usr/etc/in.tcpd
telnet tcp /usr/etc/in.telnetd
shell tcp /etc/in.rshd
login tcp /etc/in.rlogind
exec tcp /usr/etc/in.rexecd
tcp udp /usr/etc/in.ttcpd
syslog udp /usr/etc/in.syslog
comsat udp /usr/etc/in.comsat
talk udp /usr/etc/in.talkd
time tcp /usr/etc/in.timed
rpc udp /usr/etc/rpc.rstatd 100001 1-2
rpc udp /usr/etc/rpc.rusersd 100002 1
rpc udp /usr/etc/rpc.rwalld 100008 1
rpc udp /usr/etc/rpc.mountd 100005 1
